BLESSED

Hello every one,

This post is about one of the nicest ladies I have ever met. Maltida is chocolate skinned with good facial features and kind eyes. Maltida is so warm, you can feel her warmth from accross a large room . I was  very impressed that she was very down to earth despite the fact that she was an ex-beauty queen .

I enjoyed every minute of our makeup session.

*Wink*

 Enjoy the pictures!!







 

My Cute Ile-Ife Bride


 

Hello Darlings,
Welcome!

Here is another post of my beautiful work of “heart”. Only this time, my canvass is cute Nike. She is beautiful and homely. It was two days of fun and I enjoyed the experience. She had a great face and I couldn’t wait to get started.
I wanted her to look divine, her lips to look fuller and sexy, since she has got small lips and then open up her eyes a bit. I really loved the whole makeup session.

Enjoy the pictures *wink*.

Beauty, Joy and laughter


Welcome Darlings!
                   
   I was browsing through  pictures of  our make up jobs and decided to share some of them with my CBB readers .
This post is about  Bunmi and her makeup session  for her special day  done by us  .  
The first time ever I saw Bunmi , I met her through her brother and she gave me a gift. Little did I know that I would be her makeup artist , some years to come  . Bunmi is a beautiful woman with a great smile . I opted for the bold smokey look for her engagement and then a  simple yet classy look for her  for wedding makeup.

Did she like her makeup ..........your guess is as good as mine .
Enjoy the pictures , I hope you feel the excitement , joy and laughter .



           Wow ! I am smiling back , she is beautiful !

 
            Pretty ! Do you love the eyes too !

            So , remember to leave a comment.

MAKEUP TIPS FOR THE LIPS



Hello dearies,

              Nothing beats lovely looking lips any time any day.  Everyone has the look they love, some like to look natural, while others prefer the glam look and then some the day time casual look .But whatever look you prefer, it is nice when your lips are done properly .I have a friend that has close to seven lip glosses she likes in her handbag,it shows ladies to an extent are particular about the way their lips look.

Here are some makeup tips for the great looking lips we all love:

*      Clean your lips properly before any application

*      Line your lips with a wine lip liner  or a colour slightly darker than your lipstick

*      Blend in the lip liner on the lip  with a lip brush

*      Wear  lipstick of your choice ,a nice shade of pink , red  is fine

*      Blend your lipstick in with  a lip brush starting from the top end to the bottom

*      For the matte look , bite in a bit of tissue paper

*      Re- apply the lipstick

*      Blend in well with the lip brush and  you get great looking lips

HOW TO WEAR WELL GROOMED EYEBROWS

             I was at my desk when a friend came in and commented on my eyebrows. She said she liked them and she wanted to know how to groom her eyebrows herself .....and so  I decided to write about grooming your eyebrows properly. Grooming your eyebrows is real easy; all you need is a good  pair of tweezers , a  blade , concealer, a good contour brush, an eye pencil and an eyebrow filler.

WHAT TO DO

           Shapen your eyebrows by plucking out the excess hair under the eyebrow bone,and in front using the tweezers  . Carve out a nice shape by plucking lightly and then take a bit of the concealer with your contour brush , draw out the shape you want to form . Fill in the eyebrow hair lightly with eyepencil or  eyeshadow filler. Use an eyebrow brush to even out the front edges , brush lightly until the eyebrow pencil \ eyebrow  filler on the eyebrows looks very natural .
           Use  the remaining concealer on the contour brush to soften the edges of the shapened eyebrow .

WHAT YOU GET

        You get  well groomed eyebrows waiting to be flaunted at a party or at work .

HOW TO GET RID OF DARK EYES (HOME REMEDIES)

Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #1: Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #1: Dark circles may be hereditary for some people or simply a part of the aging process, but most people would agree that they are a struggle to conceal. When the fat pad beneath the eye begins to thin with age, it can create a sunken look to the under eye area. Studies have shown that sluggishness of blood flow underneath the eyes may also contribute to dark circles. Vitamin K has been found to diminish the appearance of these dark circles. A recent study published in Cosmetic and Toiletries, included two groups, one that applied an under eye cream containing sunscreen and another that applied an under eye cream containing a combination of vitamin K and retinol. An examination of the under eye color at the beginning of the study and at the end found a significant lightening in the group using the vitamin K and retinol combination.

••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #1: Eight hours of sleep is a must for all of us, especially for people having dark circles under their eyes.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #2: Close your eyes and cover your eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes. Wash with warm water and apply a cream.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #3: Grate a cucumber, squeeze to take out its juice and refrigerate. Make a mixture of lemon juice, lanolin cream and cucumber juice and apply around the eye for 10-15 minutes.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #4: Apply lemon juice on the black circles 2 times a day.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #5: Apply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #6: Apply crushed mint around the eye.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #7: Apply almond oil under eyes.
••Home Remedies for Dark circles under the eyes #8: Reduce your intake of vitamin A. Over dose of medications such as Retin A produces "excessive" vascularization.
I  hope it helps a long way in curing the black eyes! Have a great week guys!!!
